Hello people! I'm new around this board but I love sins a ton.

I've lately been craving a new type of map, but the map editor feels clunky at best, and there's no random map templates to look at to see how the normal random maps work...

So I wanted to ask around here to see what everyone else says...

This is what I'm looking to make:

6 star map with 10 players, 2  per star, with one set to 0 players and filled with lots of high-resource planets and with random high-level militia. I want each star to have a good amount of planets for each empire to claim, somewhere in the ballpark of a bit smaller than large multi starting galaxies, but for all 6 instead of just 2...

My issue is trying to get the settings to make galaxies like the random maps do. Most of the ones I make end up looking good, but the phase lanes are too long. When I shorten them though, I end up with stringy, unappealing galaxies with few lanes... (Are ships really slow in the preview or something? Because scouts take forever even at 8x speed to jump between them...)

I've been at this for three hours so far with barely any success and Its getting irritating... The guide I found here (https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/375280/ ) Isn't all that helpful, as it doesn't include any example maps or lists of settings to compare with...

Is there any existing maps/templates for the vanilla random maps or whatever that I can download so I can base how I make a map off of that in the maker?
